''llega'rding the advances mi!ade
in lithographlic art, the introluc
tioil of steam presses did much to II
help ,lon g the )business. There
was a tLie when all the preI s
work was done biy hand, and this
Clabor made ti'graplhs so high
thalt they wore !}laceel bcvo;aid the
Sreoach of manly people. Steam
10 presses came. howevecr, about.fif
teen years aTo, and the art of en- 1
graving picturties upon .tine re
ceived a new imn)petus. We were
then enabled to make terms with
showmcn and made losters for t
less money than wood cuts could
be made. Theatrical managers
came to us, and we not only made ,
:portraits for them, but even their a
bills that were posted on boards <
were made by lithographic ~,ro
cess. Then Barnum and Fore
paugh took advantage of the su
perior quality of pictures that
could be produced by engravings
on stone, and circus managers I
were our best customers.
"Nearly all the pictures you now
see on bill-boards and in windows
are lithographs. Fifteen years
ago hardly a merchant in the
United States thought he could
advertise by means oflithographs,
but now there ale hundreds who
have costly pictures made. Espe
chally is this true of tobacco firms
and patent medicine men, who 1
give us large orders for advertis
I'S ing pictures.
fa1 "In regard to the fature of the
business, there are no fears that
men any othci process will supplant
the making of pictures on stone.
We make in Chicago some of thle
finest lithographs in America, be
cause we have the highest talent.
Tlhe duplication of colors has
reached a high state of perfection,
and we are enabled to produ:-e the
same effects with two colors that
were originally produced with
six.
'-This matter of getting the'
stones from Bavaria is expensive,
as they cost from three cents to
forty cents a pound. -Now 1 am
inclined to believe. ;that there is
good lithograph stone near HIamil
ton, Mo., that can be utilized. I
went there myself about a year
ago and I am satisfied that this
stone is equal to the Bavarian. If
this is true we can produce litho

What a Child Did.
Only a few days ago a mother
and her daughter, on their way
from Philadelphia to Omaha, were
changing trains at one of our pas

caught sight of her father, a San
Franciscan, on his return journey
friom Nel York. IHe had parted
fills from his wife six years ago on ac
count of some domestic infelicity.

papa!ie There's papa!"-and ran
tron to him. He clasped her in his
arms. But her work as peacema
kr -was only begun. "Now come
over to mamma," she continued
eagerly. "Do speak to mamma.
She has cried so much, and has
told me often how good papa al
ways was." The appeal was irre
sistible. She husband and father
looked at the wife and mother, he
stepped quickly to her, they dasp
